LOL mach 1................
spraying the holley with wd40 will not hurt the carb,it probably had dirty air bleeds they are on the top nere the venturi boosters, it's good to keep them clean they can cause idle problems alot of racers that run methonal spray wd40 down the carbs because the fuel is so dry they want it on the valves and pistons too so they are not starting it dry for the next week.
ya and don't put it in the oil!!!!
